The article doesn't say much about what was in the library, but it does mention that it contained 10,000 thriller novels.

But you nobody can read 70k books, so what was the point? He had a library nobody knew about, full of books he hadn't read.

That's not a library, it's an imitation of a library built by someone who doesn't understand what a library is for.

The filibuster isn't part of the system; it's not even part of the law. It's just part of the rules that the Senate chose for their own internal procedures.

I'm puzzled by this. Why hasn't there been, over the last fifty years, a huge amount of research into EM staining techniques and which materials were best under which circumstances? Edison supposedly tried 3000 different materials for light bulb filaments before settling on charred cotton thread. Why hasn't something similar been done in this area?

Or perhaps it _has_ been done and that's why nearly everyone uses uranyl acetate? And perhaps coffee was tried decades ago and found to be generally inferior?
